I know nothing about this car, but bearing in mind your other topic, I'd ask what are you looking to do with the car.
If you're going to race then check out your local clubs, you don't want to buy this on road car if all the clubs race off road!

Hello got the car this morning for £90 + £10 postage. It will do me to start of with to get used to rc cars also playing about with them to. Might even be good enough long term will see how things go practicing using it all.

Hello got the car today started up fine no problem. untill I couldn't find were to switch the dam engine off lol.

Found a switch on the receiver thank god.
Anyway when the car running if you lift it of the floor the wheels go around?
Other thing the car moves when its parked up?

So just need to know how to keep the car still. Also is there anther place apart from the remote where you can switch the engine off?

Its fast as hell didn't relise the speed of the dam thing bloody hell lol.

thanks

you have to stall the engine , you can not switch it off

3 ways, finger on the exhaust outlet to block it
dab the flywheel with your thumb ( my prefered method)
above 2 id suggest getting a wooden dowel as if your not sure what ur doing ull damage your fingers
block the air filter.

if its moving when idling then either your radio is not trimed properly ( hold the brake on, does the revs drop? is so trim the radio if not drop the idle on the idle screw

or your clutch is about knackered

as i said before ok as a starter car but if you plan on racing it wont be as fast as the top ic on road cars by a long shot.

finally dont use it at a track that does not allow nitro, ull be very unpopular, as most dont due to noise problems
